You’ve Been Arrested. Now What?

You’re confused. You’re scared and you're asking yourself, "What just happened?"
If you’ve been arrested and don’t fully understand what you’re being charged with,or why you were even arrested in the first place,you’re not alone.
At Izquierdo Law Firm, we hear this more often than you’d think. People come to us feeling shocked, lost, and consumed by fear and regret. They’re not sure what their future holds or how to even begin facing what’s next.
So first, take a deep breath. You don’t have to go through this alone.

It’s Normal to Feel Angry, Guilty, and Overwhelmed

After an arrest, it's common to spiral emotionally. You might be replaying the moment over and over, asking yourself what you could have done differently. You may feel ashamed, regretful, or even afraid of what others will think, including your employer or family.
This emotional rollercoaster is real. And it’s valid.

“It’s all I can think about… I feel so angry, guilty, sad and I have so much regret.”

You’re allowed to feel shaken. This is a traumatic experience. But your story doesn’t end here.

You Can Regain Control of Your Situation, Starting with One Step

Here’s the truth: You don’t need to have all the answers right now. You just need someone who does.

That’s where we come in.

An experienced criminal defense attorney can review the police reports and charges, explain what’s really going on, and, most importantly, listen to your story.
Because the legal system doesn’t automatically consider your side. If you don’t speak up and advocate for yourself, the only story being told is the one in the police report.

But with the right attorney by your side, your narrative is heard. We take your version of events and weigh it against the charges and the evidence. Then we use that to negotiate with the prosecutor and defend you in court,fighting for the best possible outcome.
